Designs are one of  the ways best ways to resolve local or national problems in South Africa. One of the questions that Gavin Mageni  asks is; "why is design important" and i would like to answer this question by saying that, designs can be a plan that aims  to better or rebuild  and  to improve the life's of people. This can be through material objects or systems in place.Designs can be used as a responsive tool to crisis and it should be in a way in which it serves all of us.It should be in a democratic manner,have lessons and also be able to deliver value, this means it should be inclusive, effective and community need related.South African challenges that can be resolved through designs.

Challenges faced in South Africa

-Poor constructions of houses

-Inactive citizens 

-Minority have access to better houses 

In order for a design to be deeply concerned with people, it should deal directly with people and in order for it to bring beauty and simplicity from complexity, it should be made out of new ideas to better the lives of people and also encourage them to come with new ideas. Co-creation and shared knowledge within our communities can also resolve the challenges above. This could allow communities to com up with innovative ideas and applying this methods to resolve their own challenges.
